General methods to monitor disk space
The Performance Monitor shows the disk space available on your system
by showing the percentage of free disk space.
Reporter
In Reporter, you can view reports about system performance after you
perform a download of OMs from the server to your administrative PC. The
Multimedia File System Usage report helps you determine if the level of user
messages is getting too high. The Disk Usage report provides information
on the usage of all disk drives on the server.
For more information, refer to the CallPilot Reporter Guide (NN44200-603).

— Delete unneeded mailboxes that might be filling up with broadcast
messages.
— Reduce the maximum space allowed for some or all mailboxes so
the system tells users their mailboxes are full.
— Reduce the read message retention time on some or all mailboxes
so that the automatic message deletion cleans up more messages
sooner.
In an application using automatic read message deletion, disk usage
typically increases from Monday to Friday. Disk usage decreases over
the weekend as read messages are deleted and few new ones are
created. When you understand these patterns you can better plan a
strategy to deal with disk space problems.
If the system is chronically low on space, consider purchasing additional
storage from Nortel, particularly if you must add new users to the system.
Decrease the amount of time that the system retains messages before
they expire if you discover that the MMFS is getting full.
Reduce the amount of storage space that is allocated to users. You can
change this requirement only after the fact (for example, in case a user
already has many messages stored in his or her mailbox).
The system database collects OMs on the hard disk depending on
the type of specified OMs and for a specified amount of time. If the
database is getting full, reduce the amount of time for which those OMs
are collected and retained on the hard disk (OM retention).
